When Luna heard the chubby man bidding 10,000 for the soup from one side, she was flabbergasted. She initially expected the dish to gain a bid of 5,000, but 10,000 was a figure that she had never thought of. However, someone actually placed a bid of 10,000 today and the figure only kept increasing. Scarlett, on the other hand, was completely dumbfounded as she gaped at the scene. The bidding price had now risen to 60,000. Oh, God! 60,000 for a dish? Even as Lawrence’s granddaughter, she had never seen a dish with such a sky-high price. Christopher continued to wear a faint smile that made him look as if he wasn’t excited nor happy. He blinked gently, looking calm and composed. However, as a matter of fact, he felt that his heart was about to burst with happiness. Yes, continue to increase the bid! The higher the bid, the better it is for me! The chubby man did not believe that the thin man would be so daring to actually place a higher bid than him if the former increased the bid from 100,000 to 500,000. Let’s see if you have such a resolution to bid for the dish! he mused to himself. After he had made up his mind, he growled through gritted teeth, “Five hundred thousand! If you have the guts to place a higher bid, the dish shall belong to you!” “Hmph! Well, you shall see for yourself now!Five hundred and ten thousand!” The thin man, who seemed to have made up his mind to thwart the chubby man no matter the cost, abruptly slapped the table and shouted. Although spending 510,000 to purchase a dish would be no different from burning money, it actually brought him no harm. Therefore, even if he were to spend 5,000,000 on it, he found that it was actually worth it. The chubby man glanced at the thin man and he let out a cold snort before sitting back on the chair. He then averted his gaze from the thin man, for he couldn’t stop the latter if he insisted to spend 510,000 to purchase the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup. Most of the people around them were at a loss for words when they heard the price competition between the thin and chubby man. Meanwhile, although Christopher was glad, he felt rather speechless as well. Wow, these two men are no doubt filthy rich! They are willing to throw away 500,000 for a single dish. If he was in their shoes, he definitely would be unwilling to do so. “Everyone, please be rest assured. The Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup today is just to give everyone an inkling of what we are going to offer in the future. Nevertheless, the outcome has greatly exceeded my expectations. We shall continue with our auction tomorrow and we will have two dishes by then. After this, we hope that everyone here today can promote our dish! Also, the more you consume the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup, the more beneficial it is to your body!” The trace of astonishment on Luna’s expression had disappeared and was replaced by her usual confidence and graceful smile. As she blinked her watery eyes, the room instantly fell silent. When she spoke in her melodious voice, all the men in the room were at ease, including Christopher. It would be a pleasure in itself to listen to Luna speaking even if they were not here to have a meal. If they had the chance to take in her stunning beauty, it would be the most pleasurable of all and coincidentally, Christopher was able to enjoy this special treatment every day. After the main event, there was nothing else for them to stay. The crowd cast a few more glances at Luna before leaving the place with eager anticipation as they intended to come again tomorrow. After the auction, many people stayed behind to have a meal at The Serenade. They openly discussed the auction today and explained the entire situation in an exciting manner, piquing the interest of many customers around them. Word about the auction of the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup soon spread. When people heard that the soup was auctioned off at a sky-high price of 510,000, they immediately dropped the forks and spoons in their hands and were frozen to their spots. ...... Meanwhile in Luna’s office, she smiled as she looked at Christopher with gleams of compliments in her eyes. The price tag of 510,000 was equivalent to almost two days’ profits of The Serenade. Yet, Christopher was able to bring in so much profit with only one dish. It was undeniable that this dish of his was the most expensive dish that The Serenade had ever sold, and the most premium and profitable one as well. Christopher, on the other hand, was currently lounging on a chair like a boss with his eyes closed. He held a glass of water in his hands and he slowly took a sip of water, ignoring both Luna and Scarlett beside him as he thought to himself, What else is there for me to be afraid of? With the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup, Luna will definitely not drive me away from The Serenade! She may even pay me a fine salary to keep me here instead! I earned 510,000 per day, not per month! Who else is able to make this dish that has such a sky-high price other than me? Nobody for sure! Christopher felt that he could pat his chest and declare it with full confidence. On the other hand, if looks could kill, Christopher would have been killed at least a hundred times by Scarlett. However, he now completely ignored her. Well, with Luna here, what else can she do? His attitude pissed Scarlett off even more, and it caused her to want to give him a good kick in his face. “Christopher, this dish you made is quite alright. Tell me—how do you wish to split the profits?” Luna asked. Upon hearing her question, Christopher opened his eyes and placed the glass on the table beside him and smiled. “Sixty-forty!” “Sixty-forty? I initially thought of splitting it fifty-fifty, but since you are so generous—” Luna was stunned. His words came as a surprise to her as she did not expect Christopher to only want forty percent of the profit, and give her the bigger piece of the pie. “No, Director Sears; I think that you have misunderstood me. I meant that I will take sixty percent and you will take forty!” The current Christopher showed no fear at all as he calmly rose to his full height from the chair and straightened his clothes as he spoke. Upon hearing that, Luna furrowed her brows slightly, indicating that she might be dissatisfied with what he said. Her smile disappeared at that very instant and was replaced by the formidable aura that she used in business negotiations. She had never been a person who would back down in the face of a challenge, so it would only be natural for her to try her best to gain as much profit as she could from Christopher’s dish. Pressing on the handles of the chair with both hands, she slowly stood up and calmly looked into Christopher’s eyes. “Is that what you want?” “No, what I want is to take eighty and give you twenty. However, I will now only take sixty and give you forty, but I will definitely name the first term to others. After all, you will be gaining profits without much investment, no?” Christopher knew that he had to overpower her in terms of aura if he wished to conquer this goddess. Therefore, he showed no signs of weakness and even took one step closer to her. As he leaned into her, he could detect a faint rose scent. Upon hearing that, Luna suddenly revealed a faint smile and her mouth parted again. “You win!” she conceded.
